Subject: Blurry icon in b2g-desktop

When I test install my app in b2g-gaya-desktop 0.6, then the wrong icon is
chosen. See attachment: It's blurry.

What could be the problem? How do I find out more?

The app's `manifest.webapp`:

    {
        "name": "ROTOGAMEsq",
        "description":
            "Puzzle game, inspired by squared bathroom tiles",
        "icons": {
            "16": "/images/icon_16.png",
            "30": "/images/icon_30.png",
            "32": "/images/icon_32.png",
            "48": "/images/icon_48.png",
            "54": "/images/icon_54.png",
            "60": "/images/icon_60.png",
            "64": "/images/icon_64.png",
            "108": "/images/icon_108.png",
            "128": "/images/icon_128.png",
            "256": "/images/icon_256.png"
        },
        "developer": {
            "name": "Felix E. Klee",
            "url": "https://github.com/feklee"
        },
        "default_locale": "en"
    }

Note that all the icon files exist, and each is sharp.

To find out more, I now replaced the icons with distinct graphics files.
The idea: Find out which file b2g is using.

Result: When deleting and reinstalling the app, still the old blurry
icon is shown. But that icon isn't delivered anymore by the server. So,
I have a cache issue here.

How do I delete cache in b2g-gaia-desktop?

For the time being, I give up:

https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/mozilla.dev.b2g/f...

Maybe I just got unlucky and just these Nightlies/snapshots were buggy.
But also, it is hard to get help. E.g. on IRC (#b2g, #openwebapps) there
is close to no activity.

Thanks for the suggestions! In the meantime, I also found the B2G and
dev-gaia mailing lists of great help.

By the way, the issue with the blurry icon went away with another
release of B2G desktop. However, only somewhat: On hires screens I still
expect the icon to be blurred as even 256 x 256 px would not be large
enough in certain situations. I filed a bug report:

"256 x 256 icon already outdated -> allow SVG icon in Open Web App
manifest"
